Hi!

I am here because I am trying to lose the weight that came with having two babies in 27 months! I have 4 children, all boys ages 10, 7, 20 months and almost 2 months. I have struggled with my weight all my life and this is no different, but I am determined to get back to my pre-DH weight or better. I look forward to getting to know you all and supporting you on your journeys as well!

I am 4 pounds into my first 10 pound goal. We'll see if I want to lose more when I reach my final goal of 46 pounds off.

Hi Cath and welcome. Do you have some plan for eating picked out or are you shopping? We'd love to help!

Hi Cath Congrats on the newest edition .

I am new around here also. My name is Eleny and I have 3 dc's, dd18, ds17, and ds2.5.
I have struggled with my weight since having kids, have been at a low weight and then gained and then loss again, then gained again after the youngest. I am now getting serious about getting Healthy more then been a certain size.

Thanks girls - I am super excited to have found this site.

I am still shopping for what works eating wise - I am breastfeeding so counting/watching calories and eating healthy is probably the only option at this point. I don't want to do anything that might harm my ability to breastfeed. I have started doing walk away the pounds (it's on my comcast OnDemand) - the two mile walk every other day and some different toning videos on days I don't walk. I am going to try to start the pilates soon. I also drink a ton of water(over 90 ounces), but can't seem to give up my coffee. Plus, well chasing after my toddler is always good cardio! LOL

Eating is my weak point- I am am emotional eater, and let's face it, post partum hormones can take you for a spin, for sure. I also eat when I am bored, I "sample" when I am cooking, I eat like crap and really need help learning to eat better

Have you checked out the Whole Foods threads?
